A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority. It followed the example of the British Parliament in seeking to secure ...freedom from arrest (save in indictable offences) during the session and for periods of forty days before and after the session, freedom of speech during debate, power to discipline members and non-members who gave insult or injury to the House or its members, the right to determine disputed elections, [and] the right to receive petitions . The House also established committees charged with the discussion and analysis of particular matters, which took some of the workload off the main body of the House. Committees remain an important part of today’s Legislative Assembly. PEI’s early Legislature often remained in office for an indefinite time, until the Lieutenant Governor saw fit to dissolve it. In 1833, the term was set to four years, with exceptions for dissolution by the Lieutenant Governor or upon the death of the King or Queen. Today, the term of the Legislative Assembly may last for up to five years from the day of the return of the writs for a general election. Otherwise, it may be dissolved earlier by the Lieutenant Governor with the advice of Executive Council. It is no longer automatically dissolved upon the death of a sovereign. Responsible Government The existence of an elected House of Assembly was key to PEI’s attainment of responsible government (self- government) in 1851. The Members of the House of Assembly were largely in favour of responsible government, while the Members of the Legislative Council largely were not. The Council Members’ resistance was likely because they were appointed, opposed to reform and enjoyed freedom from responsibility to the House of Assembly. In fact, the Council was often an obstacle to the House in terms of membership and policy. But in 1839, the Legislative Council was separated into a Legislative Council and an Executive Council, and some Members of the House of Assembly were placed on Executive Council; this had the effect of reducing the Legislative Council’s power. In 1840, the House of Assembly requested that the Queen grant responsible government to PEI. It was granted in 1851, and was augmented with an 1862 Act that required the Legislative Council to be elected rather than appointed. From this point onward, the Council’s influence gradually diminished compared to that of the House. 9 Creating the Legislative Assembly In 1893, the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council were combined to form the Legislative Assembly. From 1893 to 1966, PEI’s Legislative Assembly was made up of 30 Members, half of which were elected as Assemblymen, half as Councillors. There were five electoral districts in each of the three counties, and each district elected an Assemblyman and a Councillor. This double-representative system was unique in Canadian politics, as all other provinces had abolished their second chambers. In 1966 the riding of 6th Queens was created, which brought the total membership in the Assembly to 32. In 1994 the Election Act and Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended a shift to single member representation for all 30 districts. MLA Ross Young later introduced a Private Member’s Bill which redrew electoral boundaries according to a 27 riding system. The bill received Royal Assent on May 19, 1994, and survived provincial and federal Supreme Court challenges by the City of Charlottetown and other urban centres. The 1996 election was the first time the Legislative Assembly was elected based on one Member for each of 27 ridings, a system it continues to follow today. 10 TheOur Office Services of the Legislative Assembly provides • serving as secretary to the Standing Committee on nonpartisan procedural, administrative, Legislative Management; communications, educational and outreach services to the Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and • advising the Speaker and Members on the public. parliamentary procedure, traditions and precedents; • administering the Oath of Allegiance to all duly Office of the Speaker elected Members at the beginning of a parliament; and The Speaker is the presiding officer of the Legislative Assembly, and is responsible for: • presiding over the election of a Speaker. • presiding over the proceedings of the Assembly, maintaining order, and regulating debate in Standing Committee on Legislative accordance with the rules and practices of the Management House; The Standing Committee on Legislative Management • ensuring all viewpoints have the opportunity of a deals with the administration of the House and the hearing in debate; provision of all services and facilities to Members.

Confederation Centre of the Arts stages were filled with music, drama, and laughter and welcomed visitors and artists from all over the world. Our galleries featured diverse and emerging artists who brought new live audiences here while receiving unprecedented digital media attention online. As we complete the first year of our 2019-24 Strategic Plan, we are entering into a global pandemic that has brought with it a paralyzing level of uncertainty. The Charlottetown Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its history, and Confederation Centre of the Arts has had to close its doors entirely as of March 16, 2020. What lies beyond the summer is unknown, so for now we are following the guidance of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Province of PEI – guidance which is updated daily and will ultimately indicate when and in what way we can reopen, and how gathering restrictions will impact our ability to deliver various programs. We remain committed to our Strategic Plan and our three pillars of Artistic Excellence, Engaged Diverse Communities, and Organizational Sustainability. We remain committed to our 12 priority areas as outlined in the plan, and the many resulting goals and actions that are part of our implementation plan.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.
